An important goal of this draft is precisely to document this sort of issues for people who were not even aware of it. The draft is obviously IETF-style (not Joe User-style) because my experience in perpass showed that many IETFers were not aware of these questions. So, the goal is to enlighten them, then to enlighten a more general public. Since we are DNS experts (are we?), if it's not our job to perform this enlightnement, whose job it is? People who go to the land of churrascos for the ICANN meeting will notice that ICANN spent a lot of time discussing whois privacy issues and zero discussing DNS privacy issues. > Given the recent Snowden revelations, anyone who is vaguely awake > must realise they have next to no expectation of privacy or > anonymity whenever they use the Internet or PSTN as supplied by > their ISP or telco. That's precisely what we are trying to change, since the Vancouver meeting. (Yes, I'm an optimistic.) _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
